* Proposal to the Annual General Meeting

REVENUES, ORDERS AND EARNINGS SITUATION Group revenues at a high
level. Group revenues rose last year to EUR 321.3 m (2004: EUR 299.4
m). Part of the increase in revenues is attributable to the US
companies, which achieved growth both on the US market and in export
business. Another, very significant contribution to revenue growth
was made by the Group’s Spanish company.

Excellent order situation. At EUR 377.0 m (2004: EUR 337.0 m), the
volume of new orders taken by the Group in 2005 was well above the
level of the past two years. In the current financial year, this has
led to a high degree of capacity utilisation, especially at the
production facilities in Austria and the USA.

The volume of orders on hand at the year-end, EUR 243.1 m, was also
well above the previous year’s level (EUR 226.1 m).

Improved earnings situation. Cost advantages resulting from larger
contracts, and an excellent result in the USA, were the two main
success factors underlying the 43% rise in the operating result
(EBIT) to EUR 19.6 m (2004: EUR 13.7 m). The biggest contribution to
the improvement in the consolidated profit was earned by the US
companies (see the segment reports for more details).

The net figure of EUR 3.3 m resulting from financial expenses and
income was little changed from the year before (2004: EUR 3.2 m). The
profit before tax (EBT) rose to EUR 15.9 m (2004: EUR 10.5 m).

OUTLOOK Further improvement in the result. In the light of the
positive impact of the reorganisation of the Karlsruhe facility, of
the continued growth of the Group’s business in the USA, and of the
lively demand on international markets, Management expects 2006 to
bring a pronounced increase in the Group’s revenues and earnings.
